| A shooting star tumbles down
|
| Its flame cannot endure
|
| A scarlet rose withers brown
|
| To lose its fragrant lure
|
| The moon illuminates the night
|
| To vanish at the dawn
|
| Oh, but love, love goes on
|
| Fortunes fail and disappear
|
| Like castles in the sand
|
| Power spoils and causes fear
|
| But yields to stronger hands
|
| Fame lasts for a moment
|
| Then, in a moment, it is gone
|
| Oh, but love, love goes on
|
| Beauty fades, and passion wanes
|
| And faces show their years
|
| Death steals a lover’s touch away
|
| But time dries up the tears
|
| Tunes are soon forgotten
|
| And singers lose their song
|
| But love goes on
|
| A baby Boy, a starlit night
|
| Kings on bended knee
|
| Healing hands giving sight
|
| Then tortured on a tree
|
| A woman sings, rejoicing
|
| «He is risen, He is gone!»
|
| Because love, love goes on
|
| Oh, love goes on |
